At the rally in Gevgelija, presidential candidate backed by the VMRO-DPMNE-led coalition, Gordana Siljanovska Dakova, spoke of the importance of not concentrating all the government in the hands of several individuals who, without opposition.

When you are not hindered, when you have no brakes from the opposition, from the lawmakers who think differently, when you have no critics, but you have fans around you, then you will sink into nonsense. Then Macedonia will look like a country in which, as Roterodamus says, stupidity is praised. You deserve no such thing. We deserve decent, educated, politicians intellectuals, critics who do not worship foreigners just because they are foreigners, but describe the actual situation, defend the arguments, argue with them, lead a dialogue, and say: Please, understand, it is our homeland. You can be pragmatic and practical, but we cannot forget the heart and the mind, said Siljanovska.
